Manchester United clinched the FA Cup with a 2-1 victory over rivals Manchester City at Wembley Stadium. Alejandro Garnacho opened the scoring in the 30th minute, capitalizing on a defensive error to slot the ball past City’s goalkeeper.
Just nine minutes later, Kobbie Mainoo doubled United’s lead, finishing a well-executed counterattack initiated by Bruno Fernandes. City pushed hard in the second half, and Jeremy Doku pulled one back in the 87th minute with a sharp strike that slipped past United’s keeper Andre Onana.
Despite City’s relentless pressure in the closing stages, United held firm to secure their 13th FA Cup title, narrowing the gap with Arsenal’s record 14 titles.
Erik ten Hag’s tactical acumen shone through as United effectively countered City’s possession-heavy approach, marking their first FA Cup triumph since the 2015-16 season and ensuring their place in next season’s Europa League. The victory was celebrated exuberantly by ten Hag and his squad, capping off a successful campaign.
